TELL CONGRESS: Stephen Miller is pushing Congress to quietly extend Trump’s warrantless spying powers. Miller and Trump want to further supercharge their mass surveillance with AI, but a bipartisan group of lawmakers is fighting back. Sign the petition: Block Trump and Miller’s warrantless surveillance of Americans!
Stephen Miller is pushing Congress to quietly extend Trump’s warrantless spying powers.1 Kash Patel admitted to Congress that the FBI is buying Americans’ location data without a warrant.2 Pete Hegseth wants AI companies to give the Trump administration unrestricted use of their powerful technology, which could supercharge domestic spying.3
The fight over renewing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) is between allowing the Trump administration to abuse the law to spy on Americans, OR closing surveillance loopholes to protect us from this invasion of privacy.
Speaker Johnson recently abandoned a vote on Section 702 because a bipartisan group of lawmakers are demanding reforms. But some Democrats could give Johnson, Miller, and Trump exactly what they want. We need to ramp up the pressure on Congress now to protect us from government spying.
The White House says it wants to use AI to collect and analyze “commercial bulk data on Americans, such as geolocation and web browsing data.”4 It would be an uncontrollable, dangerous expansion of government surveillance.
Federal law enforcement abuses loopholes like the data broker loophole to search through electronic communications of Americans without a warrant.5 A recent report shows that these searches rose by a whopping 35% at Kash Patel’s FBI.6 It would get even worse with the help of AI.
The vast majority of voters agree that Congress must pass reforms to the current warrantless government surveillance regime. Congress must stand for privacy and the safety of their constituents.
